"Break Through the Clutter"

Client assets: $400M
Members: 26,000

Client Scenario:

The CU needed an annual media (radio) plan which included an annual buy as well as the ad creative and voice talent acquisition and management. They needed a strategic mixture of branding and product/service specific spots that followed the established marketing plan. This CU was in a top 15 national radio market that was saturated with financial services advertisements, so they also required a campaign that was strategic yet creative to break through the clutter.

BA Solutions:

We developed an annual media plan that included a strategic radio buy across a highly targeted spectrum of radio stations. Creatively we developed a branded, character driven series that followed a storyline throughout the characters life stages and their corresponding financial needs. The series fulfilled a strategic plan to first create brand awareness, thusly allowing easier brand recognition during the product/service promotion phase where strong lines of persuasion and call-to-action’s were used. Additionally, we utilized our extensive network of professional voice over talents to ensure the highest quality spots.

Results:

The series was very well received by the CU and the listenership. It quickly became an outlet for the credit union to showcase their products and services.  During the product/service phase we created several home loan spots that within 48 hours of going on air and being streamed garnered over $4 million in home loan applications (all loans were approved!) which also brought in nearly $1 million in new deposit monies! The entire annual series enjoyed success, exceeding all goals and expectations.
